After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1220

Anyway, despite all the worries, some predetermined things shall still commence.

For example, another mass wedding was scheduled. They had set out to do this every 3 months or so and had seen quite a few successes.

Mathilda was not joking when she said she wanted more children running around…

There were also plenty of individual weddings, of course, but for now some felt more fun to do it with friends, but they were the minority.

After moving to Xeno, some things began to change. For example, the majority of the married couples in Alterra were actually products of the Mass Weddings instead. _{freēwebnovel.com}

Mass weddings were mostly sponsored by the territory, and they only had to pay a small administration fee and a few more add-ons, depending on the number of guests they wanted to invite.

After registering, all they had to worry about was their attire and who to invite to occupy the 10 free slots for guests the territory allowed. They also need to determine the budget they would need if they wanted to invite more people, because they would have to pay for those—and they wouldn't be cheap.

Most importantly: They would be able to save money to splurge on the honeymoon! It was just too practical.

So… it was not a surprise that slots in Mass Wedding were all filled up for the next year.

Anyway, one of the pairs to be married in this batch was Troy and Brenda.

Troy's proposal was quite famous.

Some time ago, he proposed to her using his polypolo, he fired it in a cleared area. There was a banner hanging on the projectile, asking Brenda if she could be his wife. If things went as planned, Brenda would see a flying banner with the words cut the sky above her.

Sadly, Brenda missed it the first time though because she happened to look away at the exact moment.

Troy then made an impromptu performance to distract her, and the second attempt flew over his head from the correct angle, making it even more romantic (and sillier) than originally planned.

The wedding itself was put on hold. They waited until her dad arrived to move to Alterra, which took a while because there was a lot of convincing to do. Plus, after convincing, they also had a few assets to sell as well.

Her father arrived with the exodus of tourists after the upgrade and it was a touching reunion. Admittedly, there seemed to have been some awkwardness between Troy and his prospective father-in-law, but he managed to win him over the same way he won over Brenda: With his passion for weapons.

Now... there were times Brenda felt she was the third wheel, instead.

In any case, the family dynamic was really enviable, particularly for aborigine women who did not have nearly as much support Brenda did growing up.

Brenda's father was one of the rare open-minded people in this world, otherwise, Brenda—a woman—would not have had the opportunity to awaken a profession in the first place.

She had a good father and a good husband; how many people would even wish for one of those and didn't get it?

Another pair was, interestingly, Tom and Betty.

That one caused quite a commotion among Betty's fanboys, who called themselves the Golden Hearts.

The couple started going steady a few months ago.

When news spread, there were a lot of challenges sent to Tom every day. Some were more blatant, sending challenges in the sparring rings, while some would be a bit more subtle. For example, challenging him in a basketball game or in squash or whatever.

Oftentimes, they would open up bets like 'lose and you'll leave Betty' and so on.
